J.D. Vance was all tricks, no treats this Halloween.
The vice president, 41, mocked himself, dressing up as the viral "fat J.D. curly hair" meme for Halloween on Friday, October 31.
The popular social media edit featured a Photoshopped Vance with larger cheeks, curly locks and a longer beard.
J.D. Vance dressed up as a meme-ified version of himself for Halloween.
Likewise, the real-life politician wore a voluminous, shoulder-length wig.
"Happy Halloween, kids. And remember: Say thank you," he said in an X video, before spinning around in circles to The Twilight Zone theme song.
"Happy Halloween everyone, remember to say thank you while you trick or treat!" he similarly captioned the post.
Vance's encouragement to "say thank you" alludes to his viral remarks during President Donald Trump's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier this year. During the White House visit in February, the leaders discussed how to end the Russia-Ukraine war, and Vance accused Zelenskyy of being "disrespectful."
"Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring you into this conference," he asserted at the time.
J.D. Vance made fun of himself on Halloween.
The moment turned into a meme that even the official White House X account tapped into.
"MAKE SURE YOU SAY THANK YOU," they wrote, reposting Vance's Halloween costume.
The 41-year-old shared another one of his famous memes on social media to celebrate the holiday: a bald, filtered version of himself with crazy eyes, featuring the text, "Can you hear the screaming?"
"Happy Halloween!" Vance simply wrote on a repost of the edit.
